Lulu And Fanny: Life’s Glow

Many people are uncertain about my infrared photos, confused, some think the shots were taken in winter because the back ground and the trees are shown with a glow. I call it the life glow, and I am getting used to the infrared shots, although I realize I need a fullĀ  frame IR camera to take the shots I want, and that will cost $4,000.

I am drawn to the life glow of IR, of the reflection of the light, the glow, that exists in matter and living things. I am liking the portraits I take, and the true reflection of light, as many animals would see it. I love the way the camera captures the drama of the sky.

My new friend Hugh is a celtic spiritualist and he says IR photograph captures two different realities, I think this is so. I will keep experimenting.
